Ever since Woke arrived, I've noticed anyone of Hispanic descent was classified as a person of color. I had to raise an eyebrow this morning when a person with the last name of Diaz, which in my experience is someone of Hispanic descent, was referred to as being of the white race. Was this because he he identifies as white or was it because he kidnapped a kid? Unfortunately, I have no faith or trust in anything I read any longer.
If you start looking at demographic data amongst various sources, you will find that many have started categorizing Hispanics/Latinos as White now.
It allows them to elevate and highlight blacks as the preferred minority.
Conversely(?), all during COVID if you looked at demographic data every category looked like this which I was always confused by:
- Non-Hispanic White
- Non-Hispanic Black
- Non-Hispanic Asian
- etc
Every racial category had "Non-Hispanic" in front of it. I never knew there was a Non-Hispanic Asian category. I guess I just thought that was understood.
